That's the detail I decided to pass over. 10 desktops seems indecent. I can't see what applications you would run in 10 desktops that can't be done in 2 desktops and 10 (powershell/konsole) tabs. Personally I want the CLI stuff to go with other CLI stuff and the X stuff with other X stuff. -- Sir Isaac Newton: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."
